Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (1-pound) loaf panettone bread, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch cubes
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
  • To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

SAVOURY AMARETTO CREAM SAUCE



Savoury Amaretto Cream Sauce image

A lovely sauce for pasta and chicken (or whatever you may like). Not for dieters, but worth every calorie! I love amaretto and looked high and low for a sauce recipe. I couldn't find any on Zaar that fit the bill so this one was created based on the few that I found from other online sources. It does not have an overwhelmingly amaretto flavour, but you will detect a hint of sweetness. Smells divine! Note: Cook time is approximate and your yield may vary, depending on how much you let it reduce after each addition.

ALMOND AMARETTO BREAD PUDDING WITH AMARETTO SAUCE

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Puddings

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

butter or margarine
1 loaf french bread
4 c milk
1 can(s) (6 oz) condensed milk
6 eggs
2 c sugar
1 Tbsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Grease a 9 x 11 x 2 inch baking pan with butter or margarine.
  • 2. Cut or tear French bread into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces. Soak in milk and condensed milk until all milk is absorbed.
  • 3. In separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar, almond and vanilla extracts and Amaretto.
  • 4. Combine all ingredients, then stir in raisins. Fold in cinnamon - most of the cinnamon will stay on the surface (it doesn't have to be evenly mixed.)
  • 5. Pour into buttered baking dish and sprinkle the top with almonds pieces and a little cinnamon. Bake at 350º F for 40-55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 6. SAUCE DIRECTIONS:

  • 9. Remove saucepan from the heat and add sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and allow sauce to cool down before serving with bread pudding.
  • 10. NOTE: I don't use raisins in this recipe but if you love raisins in your bread pudding then add them. It's good both ways.

Number Of Ingredients 21

For cake layer:
2 whole large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup Amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
For raspberry frozen yogurt:
1 pint raspberries (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 pints vanilla frozen yogurt, softened
Garnish: 1/2 pint raspberries (about 1 cup) and 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted until golden and cooled
Accompaniment: raspberry Amaretto sauce
For the sauce:
2 pints raspberries (about 3 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch springform pan with a round of wax paper or parchment and butter paper. Dust pan with flour, knocking out excess.
  • To make cake layer:
  • In a bowl whisk together whole eggs and yolk. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a glass measuring cup stir together milk and Amaretto. In a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed beat butter 1 minute and beat in sugar in a steady stream, scraping bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in egg, a little at a time, beating well after each addition, until pale and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture in 3 batches alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and stirring until smooth after each addition.
  • Turn batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake layer in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side of pan. Invert cake layer onto rack. Remove paper carefully and cool cake completely. With a long serrated knife halve cake horizontally. Clean springform pan and line with 2 sheets plastic wrap, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Put bottom half of cake, cut side up, in pan.
  • Make raspberry frozen yogurt:
  • In a food processor purée raspberries with sugar and water and force through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Add frozen yogurt and stir until purée is well incorporated.
  • Working quickly, spoon about half of frozen yogurt over cake in pan, spreading evenly. Top with other half of cake layer, cut side down, and spoon remaining frozen yogurt on top, spreading evenly.
  • Arrange raspberries decoratively on top of cake, pushing slightly into frozen yogurt, and sprinkle almonds over top of cake. Freeze cake, covered, at least until frozen hard, about 6 hours, and up to 1 week.
  • Let cake soften in refrigerator at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes before serving. Remove cake from pan, discarding plastic wrap. Serve cake with sauce.
  • To make the sauce:
  • In a food processor purée raspberries with sugar and Amaretto and force through a fine sieve into a bowl. Sauce may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
2 tablespoons Amaretto
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
  • As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
  • After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
  • Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
  • The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
  • NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.

Valuable Tips when making Amaretto Sauce Recipes

What is Amaretto Sauce?
Amaretto sauce is a rich, creamy sauce that is usually served over desserts like cakes or ice cream. It is made with Amaretto liqueur, which is a sweet and bitter Italian liqueur.
Tip #1: Choose Quality Ingredients
One of the most crucial aspects of making an amaretto sauce recipe is using quality ingredients. Use the best Amaretto liqueur you can find. Invest in high-quality cream, butter, and sugar. It may seem like a small detail, but using high-quality ingredients will make your amaretto sauce taste exceptional.
Tip #2: Properly Measure Ingredients
Measuring ingredients is a crucial step in any recipe. Ensure that you measure every ingredient accurately, especially the Amaretto liqueur. Use a measuring cup to get an accurate measurement for the recipe. Follow the recipe’s instructions precisely to avoid any confusion.
Tip #3: Cook At the Right Temperature
The cooking temperature is crucial when making amaretto sauce recipes. If it’s too high, it can scorch your ingredients, leading to an unpleasant taste. If it’s too low, you might not get the desired consistency. Maintain a low heat while cooking the cream, sugar, and butter together. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for a few minutes. Add the Amaretto at the end and return the sauce to the heat to warm it up.
Tip #4: Thicken With Cornstarch
Cornstarch is a common thickening agent in making sauces. Adding cornstarch can help thicken your amaretto sauce to the desired consistency. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry mixture. Slowly add it to the simmering sauce while whisking. Be sure to whisk continually to avoid lumps.
Tip #5: Consistency is Key
The consistency of your amaretto sauce can make or break your dessert. The sauce should have a smooth, creamy texture that coats the spoon. If it’s too thin, it will not cling well when poured over the dessert. If it’s too thick, it will not spread and cover the dessert properly. When cooking the sauce, stir it often, making sure that all ingredients are well combined. Once you add the Amaretto, stir for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off while the sauce thickens.
Tip #6: Experiment with Different Flavors
Once you have mastered the basic amaretto sauce recipe, you can experiment with different flavors to create a unique twist. Try adding a hint of orange or lemon zest to the sauce to give it a slightly tangy flavor. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spicy flavor.
Tip #7: Store Your Amaretto Sauce Properly
Storing amaretto sauce properly will ensure that it stays fresh and doesn’t spoil. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Before using it again, warm it in a double boiler or microwave. Do not overheat or boil the sauce, as it will separate and lose its silky texture.
Tip #8: Serve your Amaretto Sauce with the Right Dessert
Amaretto sauce pairs well with a range of desserts, such as cakes, pastries, tarts, and ice cream. When serving the sauce, make sure it complements the dessert you select. For example, pour it generously over a rich chocolate cake for an indulgent treat, or drizzle it sparingly over a light meringue dessert to balance the flavors.

Conclusion

Making amaretto sauce is easy, and it’s a great way to take your dessert to the next level. With the above tips, you can make a delicious and creamy amaretto sauce that is perfect for any occasion. Remember to choose quality ingredients, measure correctly, and cook at the right temperature. Don’t forget to experiment with different flavors to create your unique recipe. Finally, serve your sauce with the right dessert to take your culinary creations to the next level.
